Quebec’s largest pension fund plans to create a new technology portfolio that will invest between $1 billion to $2 billion in companies with innovative business models, according to a job posting from the firm.
The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) is hiring a Montreal-based portfolio manager of “disruptive technologies” to lead the fund. The manager will also be responsible for building a “Disruptive Technologies strategy” for the pension fund’s more than $309.5-billion portfolio. That includes examining its stakes in publicly traded companies and challenging “existing Equity Markets positions that might be at risk from disruptive models.”
